Re: Relocating
We live in Cary (a suburb of Raleigh) and we love the area. I am a teacher. Getting a teaching job in Wake county can be challenging, and often takes knowing someone. I work in Durham county (the next county over). With a special ed certification it may be easier for you to get a position. I'm just elementary ed. We lived here for 11 months before I got a public school position (in 2010) and I taught preschool and nanny'd until then.
I don't know a lot about Asheville, but I had a friend tell me she didn't have any trouble getting a teaching job there. Asheville and Raleigh are very different from each other, I would suggest visiting both and seeing what you like.
We moved to Asheville in September. The job market here isn't that great. There are a lot of schools, public & private, so you might not have a hard time finding something.
I've lived in Asheville for a year now and I actually work for the county school system here in the special services department, though I am not a teacher. Our department has probably fared better than others with budget cuts but I'm not sure how many open special ed teaching positions there are at the elementary level. I think any positions we have right now are either for assistants and any teaching positions that may open might only be part time, though my understanding is that those positions can often lead to full time teaching positions.
In the Asheville area, the schools are actually in two separate systems, one for the city and one for the county. The city system is much smaller so I don't know what things are like with them in terms of open teaching positions.
